I have never liked this advice. This is an employee mentality, not an entrepreneur mentality. An employee thinks in terms of salary and hours of work invested. An entrepreneur thinks in terms of investments and compounding returns over cal

I'm building a full fledged app. http://blog.improve.ai/ Once there is an Express type framework on top of Lambda and API Gateway, it will be a natural development model.

I think it is more likely that consciousness is singular rather than unique. There is only consciousness. There is no "all other phenomena" - only the experience of that phenomena as consciousness. I've never known anythin

one of those schemes is proprioception. Have you ever noticed how proprioception is hacked when you're driving a car or playing a video game? You become the car. You become Mario.

FWIW, I've been using serverless the last couple of weeks and I find the request-response parameter mapping absolutely maddening. Most of us have become used to frameworks like express for specifying our routes and manually specifying

I've only used serverless and that only needs to run CF when you update backend resources.

I can think of two top of mind. A deer crossing the road in icy conditions. Its better to hit the deer than lose control. a large tumble weed blowing across the road with someone tail gating you.

I've been using Serverless and I'm finding the request and response mapping to be extremely tiresome. If you're used to a modern HTTP framework like Express, Lambda+Serverless ain't even close.

I am absolutely serious and entertained by the fact my comment was down voted. Spend any time around agriculture and you will realize that the cheapest super market meat is raised completely unethically. To have a clear conscious 90% of my

The lesson here friends is to fail faster. The lack of momentum on the kickstarter should have been a clear red flag.

The solution is simple. Stop buying this crap. Know your farmer and buy your meat directly from the source.

Sorry. The Yakuza traditionally strong armed real estate hold outs and NIMBYs at the behest of the construction industry. Without the Yakuza, Tokyo wouldn't be what it is today.

It may be insane to the typical person, but if you start to objectify the lens that is active, then you can see there are multiple conflicting truths. As an example: Belief 1: The floor I am standing on is real. Of course it is real. I can

Why does choice matter? I could choose to indulge my fabulous side and cross dress, but the social rejection wouldn't be any less painful. Yes, choices do have consequences, but social exclusion based on those choices can still be cri

With practice, one can objectify and analyze their beliefs. You can start to identify what lens is active that you're filtering reality through. I highly recommend such a practice as it will allow you to hold multiple conflicting bel

I live near Yellowstone. No one that I know is concerned about bison roaming outside of Yellowstone. In the park itself, they should allow bison hunting because there are indeed too many. The wolves are at least helping. I wouldn't

Its better not to feel bad about it. It allows you to fail faster and be more honest with investors and employees. The market pays for exploration. If you weren't a winner, you still did society the service of exploring that area.

$$ can be done in a bandit setting, but the key challenge is that your feedback is highly delayed (maybe weeks or months). As the parent poster says, its best to focus on individual funnel steps that provide fast feedback, at least initiall

By focusing on volume, I get quality as a side effect. I'm very proud of the the app I've created and the feedback I get from my users: "This app gives a text reminder to do what everyone wants to do: relax, love one's
